anon82059 saidSomehow, I thought he'd be... taller. In real life was just kind of an average dude. Certainly not the sort of fellow I'd point at and say, "Porn model material." Good reminder of how fake porn is.

90% of porn stars are on the shorter side. A shorter guy has an easier time staying fit for a range of reasons.

The primary reason many porn stars are shorter is because they went to L.A. with the intention of becoming a mainstream model and found out they're not tall enough for fashion.

I had the opposite experience. Was browsing Sean Cody when I saw someone that looked quite familiar. I realized he was someone who actually hung out in my group of friends quite often! Now whenever I see him I can only think of him as 'Sander'!

laxdude25 saidWhy are so many young guys willing to go on Sean Cody or other "straight" for gay sites. The money can't be that good, and the long-standing damage to future job prospects is pretty huge.

Actually, I have a couple friends that have worked for the Sean Cody site and the Corbin Fisher site, and the money IS pretty good. It does work on a decreasing scale though, the more scenes you do, the less you are paid for each scene.

My friend "Adam" is a very well know model for one of the sites out there. I won't go to in to it cause we've talked about his "work". He's the sweetest most awesome guy I've met actually and you wouldn't be able to tell he was gay or even worked in the industry. I'm very jealous of his boyfriend and not even cause of how hot the sex is I bet but cause genuinely "Adam" is one of thoes guy's I'm very happy to have as my friend.

The money is a couple thousand at best, more if you come back for a duo or agree to shoot both a solo and duo in the same extended weekend. A local from here by the name of "JD" went to Sean Cody and now goes to school out west where the funds from porn are over a years worth of rent. Worked out for him.

Something to think about: I'm sure the OP didn't mean anything malicious by posting this guy's pic -- and by extension, his location, since anyone clicking the OP's profile can figure out where the guy lives, unless he was just passing through.

But it's true that this guy's non-porn career prospects could be hurt because of his time doing porn, whether it was for just one scene or a decade's worth. Yes, he should have taken that into consideration before he did it, and I have no idea whether he did or didn't. But the fact remains that the most likely way his porn past could come back to hurt him is by one or more of his viewers, like the OP, taking something he intended to be seen on a porn site into a non-porn context -- in this case, RealJock.

I recently came out about my past as a sex worker, which mostly involved escorting but also included a little go-go dancing and porn. I can tell you that the anxiety over the past seven years of worrying that my colorful past would ruin a career I worked very hard to build -- that of a journalst -- took a heavy toll.

My biggest fear was that somebody would innocently post a thread like the OP's somewhere, colliding my X-rated past with my PG-rated life and ruining me in the process. I'm glad no one did that to me and that I was able to come out on my own terms when I was ready.

I would encourage the OP to edit his post and remove the identifying information (pic, link, etc.) about the model. Yes, it's fun to gossip that you saw a porn star at the gym and makes your post a little more interesting. But it really isn't any of our business who specifically you saw, and the fallout for him could be disproportionate to the entertainment value of your post.

If you come across pics from my porn past, you have my permission to post them, because I have nothing to lose. This guy probably does.

The porn actor "Kayden Saylor" used to work out at my gym. He and I would often talk between sets. He was a really nice guy. Incidentally, he looks much better in person than in his pics or videos. Sadly, he moved away from the area.
